Two 'dedicated' Stockport support workers who started work together as teenagers have retired on the same day 40 years later.
Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon was top of the charts and the first episode of Blackadder had just aired when in 1983 16-year-olds Kathryn Smith and Fiona Fisher both began a Youth Training Scheme (YTS), earning the princely sum of £25 per week plus their bus fare.
Now the pair, who care for adults at the Learning Disability Resource Centre, on Owens Farm Drive in Offerton, have decided to bow out together, taking early retirement on the same day.
